🍸 Who looked at gin and vermouth and said, “You know what this needs? An olive.”

Because we need to talk.

In Episode 5 of TRUE MOCKTAILS, we’re getting into the strange, surprisingly messy history of one of the most recognizable drinks in the world: the martini.

Where did it actually come from? Who invented it? Why are there multiple stories claiming to be the real origin? And somewhere along the way…how did this little glass of mostly alcohol become the drink of sophistication, fancy dinners, cocktail lounges, spies, and people who say things like “shaken, not stirred”?

Girl. It’s a whole story.

We’re going back to the martini’s early days, digging into the different theories about where it came from, how it changed over time, and how pop culture helped turn it from a cocktail into an entire personality.

And because this is TRUE MOCKTAILS, you already know we’re not just talking about what was in the glass.

We’re talking about what the glass represented.

So grab whatever you’re sipping and come hang out with me while we figure out how a tiny V-shaped glass became one of the biggest symbols in drinking culture.

Because around here, we’re not just drinking.

We’re thinking, too.
